Aquariu.ms · Aquariu.ms News: Edition 15 Aquariu.ms June 4, 2024 at 10:54 PM

We have a bunch of new items to go over that we have recently added, changed, or modified in their current state. We list below some of the high-level changes and are even going to show you some of the planned changes that we are currently either exploring as options, in the work of modifying/creating, or have on the to-do list once some other items get progressed more.

Recent Changes

In order to stay compliant with various US state laws, including GDPR, and other regional laws, we have implemented a Cookie Consent Manager. You will notice this when you visit our website, and can manage your cookie consent values by visiting our Privacy Policy at anytime.
We have fixed a bunch of grammar errors within various pages, and articles that have been previously posted. We're working on pushing out newer content that is more relevant.
We have added a new level system that is next to everyone's username. The more that you are active, the higher your level (and tiers change every 10 levels, which mean a new colored border around your username).
Improved the layout of currently listed Shops - we are working to add more Shops spread throughout the US shortly once we can upload them in a quicker fashion.

Upcoming Planned Changes

We are adding more articles and pages behind the scenes once we are completed with the redesign of existing pages, including the addition of more photos/images on all current pages/articles to enhance what you are reading. If you have any photos that you are willing to submit that will help in current or future articles/pages, please send them to us!

We list below some of the high-level changes and are even going to show you some of the planned changes that we are currently either exploring as options, in the work of modifying/creating, or have on the to-do list once some other items get progressed more.

Recent Changes

We are currently running the most up-to-date software for the community, articles, shop, gallery, and calendar systems. You may notice that options, tabs, and other aspects have changed including the layout of content.
- There is now just one style, with a toggle based on your browser settings to either switch automatically to a Light theme (the default) or a Dark theme. You can also toggle this setting within your User Account to make it stay as Light or Dark all of the time regardless of your browser settings.
- We've had to disable some of the various plugins we were using to provide a small benefit to the community, however, everything that is critical or you are used to using has stayed. This means that third-party applications such as WSC-Connect and Tapatalk no longer function for the community, as we are awaiting an update before re-adding them to the community. In the meantime, you can browse via a smartphone and still enable notifications to see them as you traditionally may from using those third-party applications.
- Menu items have been renamed or recategorized with the update, and some items may have been removed or pushed into another submenu/location than they previously were. Please let us know if you cannot find something you were able to prior, so that we may assist you!
- The text editor has been fully redone to provide a simpler layout when replying to users' members, along with having icons that are more friendly for the eyes to do BBcode or prior text customization.

Upcoming Planned Changes

We are adding more articles and pages behind the scenes once we are completed with the redesign of existing pages, including the addition of more photos/images on all current pages/articles to enhance what you are reading. If you have any photos that you are willing to submit that will help in current or future articles/pages, please send them to us!

Aquariu.ms

Starting June 25th until July 8th, a live migration is planned to move Aquariu.ms from one datacenter to another that has been upgraded. These are designed to occur in the background and cause minimal performance impact (some pages or actions may take a little longer but should not be a noticeable difference for a majority of guests and users).

If you still are unable to access Aquariu.ms OR if the pages are taking too long to respond after an action has been taken, please reach out to us via our social media channels.

Thank you for your understanding, and we will make sure that we keep this thread updated when the required live migration has been completed.

We have a bunch of new items to go over that we have recently added, changed, or modified in their current state. We list below some of the high-level changes and are even going to show you some of the planned changes that we are currently either exploring as options, in the work of modifying/creating, or have on the to-do list once some other items get progressed more.

Recent Changes

We have updated the styles on Aquariu.ms, as the previous developer hasn't responded to our emails which raised some compatibility problems with the newest release of the community software we run. The benefits greatly outweighed the cost in this situation, and therefore we decided to make the change before we ran into technical support deadlines.
- There are now just two styles, a Light theme (the default) and a Dark theme (you can change this under your user account to whichever you prefer).
- We've had to disable some of the various plugins we were using to provide a small benefit to the community, however, everything that is critical or you are used to using has stayed.
- Menu items have been renamed or recategorized such that they make more logical sense. Please let us know if you cannot find something you were able to prior, so that we may assist you!
We are working on allowing for our GDPR options to expand, including being able to permanently delete your account and have your username transformed upon doing so (we will not be removing any content created since that would result in broken conversations), but will share more once the platform can accept these changes automatically. Since we have updated the community software we are using, this has significantly increased and we're just waiting to agree on a finalized naming structure.
- Please let us know any feedback if you would prefer the name to stay the same (ex; Deleted User XYZ, or something random which would blend in as an actual forum username).
We have finished setting up the newsletter structure and setup, and are just waiting for more creation of articles so that we don't run into an issue where we send the same content we did the prior month. Stay tuned!

Upcoming Planned Changes

We are adding more articles and pages behind the scenes once we are completed with the redesign of existing pages (since we'd rather not create two streams that appear to have the new layout before others have).

Aquariu.ms · Aquarium Clubs & Societies Aquariu.ms October 26, 2022 at 7:06 PM

We have a bunch of new items to go over that we have recently added, changed, or modified in their current state. We list below some of the high-level changes and are even going to show you some of the planned changes that we are currently either exploring as options, in the work of modifying/creating, or have on the to-do list once some other items get progressed more.

Recent Changes

We have optimized a few themes with colors to ensure they can view content without running into color-clashing aspects (specifically, the shoutbox, the Shop's Map, and more).
We have simplified the categories that Calendar items fall into, along with making the events posted into a specific forum with a higher level of details (in case you don't want to view the Calendar specifically, or if you are using apps to view the forum which cannot read the Calendar area).
We have fixed a bunch of grammar errors within various pages, and articles that have been previously posted. We're working on pushing out newer content that is more relevant and focused while aligning our quick stats area with clear definitions of terms.
If you are using a browser that supports Google One Tap Sign-In, you can now use that if you are signed into your browser and a Google account (it'll appear as a banner on the top right of your screen allowing you to sign in, or if you do not have an account yet, quickly register an account).
If you receive any type of notification, we now will not only alert you from the bell icon at the top when you refresh the page (or view a new page), but we will push notification in the bottom left-hand corner of the screen in real-time for faster conversations.
We have enabled users to be able to mark their account for deletion (with the request for the Right of Deletion), and it will show to others that your account has been marked. Once your account is deleted, you will not be able to recover or access it whatsoever.

Upcoming Planned Changes

We are adding in more articles and pages behind the scenes once we are completed with the redesign of existing pages (since we'd rather not create two streams that appear to have the new layout before others have).
We are working on allowing for our GDPR options to expand, including being able to permanently delete your account and have your username transformed upon doing so (we will not be removing any content created since that would result in broken conversations), but will share more once the platform can accept these changes automatically.
Setting up the support and newsletter articles that will power our bi-monthly newsletter (everyone will be able to sign up, even those without an Aquariu.ms account). More information will be released once we have the newsletter design finished, and start planning content to be used for it.
